Syngenta Potato Blight Hotlines Deliver Insights To Growers

  • Potato disease updates for five major growing regions
  • Information from respected potato researchers
Long-standing partnerships between Syngenta and key researchers on the potato blight hotlines continue in 2017. The hotlines, sponsored by Syngenta, provide growers in Idaho, Michigan, North Dakota, Oregon and Washington access to local information about disease pressures. Syngenta is a longtime partner of the potato industry with a strong product portfolio including CruiserMaxx® Vibrance® Potato seed treatment, Elatus® and Orondis® fungicides and Minecto® Pro insecticide to support growers. As in years past, advice from area experts on weather conditions, disease-control measures and infection confirmations is just a phone call away.
 
This year, in an effort to make updates available faster than ever, growers can subscribe to receive text messages alerting them when the hotlines they choose are updated.
